I got some cool stuff! Wavefront sensors and wavefront cameras and let's just dig in to the science stuff first.

In physics, the term light refers to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, whether visible or not. Like every type of EM radiation, it propagates as waves and the set of all points where the wave has the same phase of the sinusoid is called the wavefront.

Why is this interesting? This is just a quick recap from chat GPT if you want the actual science check the link above it's very long....
Short video
Probably not for everyone but cools stuff, maybe skip through it and just check if any sections seem interesting.
You can look "behind" things by calculating interference patterns. At the right frequency you can look through things

- Surface Profiling:
- Wavefront sensors can be used to analyze light reflected from a surface to determine its shape and topography. By capturing distortions in the reflected wavefront, the sensor can map surface irregularities in 3D with high precision.

- 3D Reconstruction:
- In combination with computational methods, wavefront data can contribute to reconstructing 3D shapes. By illuminating an object and analyzing the way light reflects off or passes through it, detailed models can be inferred.

- Holography:
- Wavefront data can assist in creating holographic images, which are inherently 3D. Holography involves recording the interference pattern of light waves to recreate the appearance of a 3D object.
